Bribery Will Get You Everywhere

Each year when I am done school and then again when I am about to begin school, I allow myself a splurge. At the end of the school year, it is all about celebrating the fact that I made it through another year without maiming any students. At the beginning of the school year, it is self-bribery, pure and simple. Rather than laying on the ground, drumming my heels, whining about not wanting to go, I feel it is far more dignified to spend large amounts of money in an effort to soften the blow of going back to the grind.

The phrase "Rather than laying on the ground, drumming my heels, whining about not wanting to go, I feel it is far more dignified to spend large amounts of money in an effort to soften the blow of going back to the grind" made me die of laughing :)So wise of you to comfort yourself with beautiful fabrics, I should do the same!

I'm a high school chemistry teacher. I have a strange sense of humour & I fancy myself to be quite witty. I love shoes, horror movies, MST3K, Monty Python, musical theatre & I have the uncanny ability to hone in on the most expensive item in any store. I have been sewing since I was 17 years old.
